Aw snap, he just equated you to a respectable and modestly successful actor. You gonna take that man? You really gonna take that?_________________The older I get, the more certain I become of one thing. True and abiding cynicism is simply a form of cowardice.

What Dogen does not seem to understand is that I made a statement that he had a problem with.

The burden of proof is on him when he decides to bitch about it, not me.

I'm waiting for that proof; the reasons why the united states is better off with liberal arts graduates in power, rather than any other discipline.

Pointing out the false nature of a statement is not providing support for its negation. Don't worry, I'll spell it out for you, since it's clear logic isn't your strong suit.

Pointing out, rightly, that "people with liberal arts degrees shouldn't have power" is a stupid thing to say is not, through any kind of tired, trite, poorly executed logic, support for the statement, "the world is better off in the hands of liberal arts majors." Indeed! What did Dogen say, if not something like, "judging people on the basis of their major is stupid." But, lo, Thy did gloss over that part because it was inconvenient, rational, and also right.

Thy: Right-handed people should never be allowed into power!
Me: That's dumb, handedness is a terrible basis for picking people.
Thy: So you think everything is okay?!
Me: No, you're being silly, let me be silly back you, for I am the walrus!
Thy: Why won't you explain why having right-handed people in power is better than left-handed people?!
Me: Aw, you're adorable.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Oh I see, you're the rare breed that believes people can't be judged from their experiences in life.

I'd rather have a mechanic work on my car rather than someone who works at McDonalds Dogen.

Do I detect a bit of cowardice emanating from your evasions?

Answer the question please.

Aw, you really don't understand logic. Even when it's spelled out for you... and recreated in simile...

Wait, is English your first language?

Anyway, you're asking me to answer a question that a) I never implied was true, b) you implied was false, and c) I claimed was based on ridiculous logic (that of choosing people on the basis of their degree). So my position on it should have been clear, and there was no evasion! In fact, I've been addressing it directly, with the same answer (once I figured out what you were asking), since my first post! It's like... I dunno... I'm logically consistant or something.

If you really need me to spell it out for you in yet another way, here it is: Picking who should have power on the basis of their major in college is helmet-wearingly stupid, and thus I support neither liberal arts major nor non-liberal-arts majors by default._________________"Worse comes to worst, my people come first, but my tribe lives on every country on earth.

But no guys the real question is "At what point did Kevin Bacon's nose stop looking so damned weird" because it's been driving me a little crazy. Did his nose mellow with age or did he actually have something done to it?_________________Samsally the GrayAce
